Santa Ove is Father Christmas off duty. With the presents delivered and his boots kicked off, he's settled onto the edge of a shelf with bare feet dangling and a well-earned golden bun in hand, a gentle, good-humoured take on the festive season.

Up close, the details reward a second look: the soft sheen of the deep red glaze, the plump white trim on his cuffs and collar, the tiny gold buckle on his belt and the sculpted curl of his moustache. His long, slender limbs give him a wonderfully elongated silhouette that looks at home among books, candles or greenery.

A characterful ceramic Christmas shelf sitter and a lovely gift for collectors of quirky sculptural ornaments, he'll return year after year to become part of your festive traditions
